Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku says he's full of confidence going into 2021.

The 27-year-old has found the net 15 times in 18 competitive games for Inter this season, along with two assists.

“I liked vertical football, as I am dangerous when I can face the goal. I'm quick and can dribble past my opponent, or move to the left or even the right. That's where I played in the past, because I was with teams that focused a great deal on the counter-attack.

“However, playing for Belgium forced me to modify my playing style. We rapidly became a side that focuses more on possession and that means there are fewer spaces to run into.

Roberto Martinez has done everything possible to make me feel more at my ease playing with my back to the goal, both for the national team and previously at Everton. I had a lot to learn at 20, but I soon realised that if I trained hard on that aspect of my game, I could do anything I wanted during a game.
